This pre-application webinar is being offered for States, public or nonprofit agencies and organizations including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education that are considering applying for federal funding under the Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center-Targeted Communities program (CFDA 84.264F) and other interested parties. The purpose of this program is to increase State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program participation levels and improve the employment outcomes of individuals with disabilities from underserved population groups of national applicability living in economically-disadvantaged households and communities nationwide. Grantees are expected to provide on-site intensive technical assistance to State VR agencies and local partner organizations in 12 targeted communities; develop interactive information-sharing opportunities among State VR agencies and partner organizations in States where the 12 target communities are located and in other States with related populations and communities; and disseminate project findings, best practices and promising models nationwide through a variety of technology-based and interpersonal venues. The webinar will review the program’s purpose as well as its project requirements, selection criteria and application submission process.
